Point Reyes: Bear Valley Trail to Arch Rock Overlook

San Francisco: Marin Headlands - Mt Tamalpais - Point Reyes

Serving hikers, runners, bikers and equestrians, the Bear Valley Trail is one of Point Reyes’ most popular and versatile trails. It begins at the Bear Valley Visitor Center and runs south through a memorable sequence of towering fir, narrow riparian corridors, tangled chaparral and open coastal scrub to a scenic bluff with panoramic views of an expansive coastline. Carved from its base is the eponymous arch, accessible by nimble hikers at low tide.
